There has been accusation and counter-accusation over the crisis rocking the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as youths in the northern part of Nigeria under the aegis of Northern Youths Movement (NYM) have accused the duo of the embattled factional Chairman of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff and Ogun State Senator, Buriji Kashamu of fueling the PDP crisis to favour the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and the Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi's 2019 Presidential and Vice Presidential ambitions.

The Youth said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will remain in crisis as long as Senator Ali Modu Sheriff and Ogun State Senator, Buruji Kashamu, remain in the party.

The NYM in a statement signed by its Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato, according to TodayNg, alleged that both Sheriff and Kashamu were agents of the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, and were working to achieve El-Rufai and Amaechi’s presidential and vice presidential ambition in 2019.

The youths said Buruji Kashamu was dancing to the tune of El-Rufai and Amaechi because the duo have promised to save him from being extradited to the United States of America to face trial for alleged drug trafficking.

The NYM noted that the court had assisted the PDP by nullifying the party’s constitutional amendment that brought Sheriff as National Chairman and restrained him from parading himself as the chairman.

It called on leaders of the party to expel the former Borno State governor and Senator Buruji Kashamu from the PDP if they desired peace in the party.

The youths, who lamented that Nigerians, especially youths in the northern part of the country were looking up to the PDP to save the country from the mis-governance of the All Progressives Congress, APC, said PDP must put its house in order in the interest of Nigerians.

The group said Buruji Kashamu is afraid of being extradited to the USA to face trial for alleged drug trafficking while Sheriff is afraid of being tried for alleged involvement in Boko Haram activities and for these reasons, they are ready to do anything to kill the PDP for El-Rufai and Amaechi.
